summary.aov {base} | R Documentation

## Summarize an Analysis of Variance Model

### Description

Summarize an analysis of variance model.

### Usage

    ## S3 method for class 'aov':
    summary(object, intercept = FALSE, split,
             expand.split = TRUE, keep.zero.df = TRUE, ...)

    ## S3 method for class 'aovlist':
    summary(object, ...)

### Arguments

`object` | An object of class `"aov"` or `"aovlist"`.
`intercept` | logical: should intercept terms be included?
`split` | an optional named list, with names corresponding to terms in the model. Each component is itself a list with integer components giving contrasts whose contributions are to be summed.
`expand.split` | logical: should the split apply also to interactions involving the factor?
`keep.zero.df` | logical: should terms with no degrees of freedom be included?
`...` | Arguments to be passed to or from other methods, for `summary.aovlist` including those for `summary.aov`.

### Value

An object of class `c("summary.aov", "listof")` or `"summary.aovlist"` respectively.

### Note

The use of `expand.split = TRUE` is little tested: it is always possible to set it to `FALSE` and specify exactly all the splits required.

### See Also

`aov`, `summary`, `model.tables`, `TukeyHSD`
